International Climate Change Development Initiative’s Post

The Presidential Climate Commission published the first-ever State of Climate Action in South Africa report. Its criticism of incoherent policies (especially when it comes to energy planning) that are hindering climate action sends a strong message to the government to stop working in silos. It will be interesting to see if the GNU can change that: https://lnkd.in/dn4wnNwt

"This document (NDC) must be understood by all Beninese so that everyone can act in the same direction." Read on to find out more👇

NEW POLICY BRIEF: READ AND DOWNLOAD NOW! In this policy brief, we discuss the key policy areas of the Bridgetown Initiative and how this Global South initiative is evolving as a global movement for transformative change by building a coalition of various stakeholders. We then discuss the relevance of “Bridgetown 2.0” to the debt and climate change challenges facing Caribbean SIDS, outlining some key concerns about the reform proposals. The brief concludes by looking forward at a possible near-term iteration, “Bridgetown 3.0”, while warning about the need to retain the Global South character of the initiative.

Driving climate action is our responsibility.

The reliance on oil, coal, and gas is a complex issue. While these resources have fueled economic growth, concerns exist about their environmental impact, particularly their contribution to climate change. Some remain skeptical of the science linking human activity to climate change, while others acknowledge the problem but differ on the best solutions. Moving forward requires a conversation that addresses both the need for clean energy and the challenges associated with transitioning away from established energy sources. #EnergyTransition #ClimateAction #CleanEnergySolutions

Communities’ inclusion at the local level should be prioritized during climate change dialogues and other public participation spaces available so that their inputs can be taken into consideration to inform climate action priorities.
